The project
An investigation into blistering of the cargo tank coatings on a number of vessels to determine the root cause of the blistering.
Our role
Safinah’s role was to survey the cargo tank coatings and take appropriate paint flake samples for analysis by computerised optical microscopy. Based on the inspection, the vessel cargo history and the paint flake analysis, Safinah was able to determine the cause of the blistering was due to poor surface cleaning prior to application of the tank coatings.
How Safinah added value
The Safinah report has given the client the information needed to understand the root cause of the blistering and when the problem likely started.
